Is this a regression from a Firefox version adopting a new portal API?
If so, I think Firefox should maintain a fallback to the previous
implementation when detecting that the new portal API is not available.

We -- Ubuntu -- can try backporting the new feature, and actively are
attempting to do so thanks to Nathan, but that is usually not how we
handle interfaces. Ubuntu LTS interfaces are frozen in time, and users
should check whether an interface is available (you can query the portal
API version over dbus for that) and fallback to something else if not;
it sounds like Firefox already had an implementation not using this
portal API if this issue only surfaced in a recent update.
